Tippie College Conference Roomwizard

RoomWizard™

In order to satisfy the growing need for conference room use and to assist our students in finding available group study areas, the Tippie College of Business has begun to use the RoomWizard™ system to manage conference room reservations. This system should improve conference room utilization and make it easier for students, staff, and faculty to find available conference rooms in the Pappajohn Business Building. Pilot installation started during the spring 2009 semester in four first-floor conference rooms in PBB and may be expanded as the benefits of the system are proven.

With RoomWizard™ showing available meeting locations, capturing utilization data, and facilitating impromptu meetings, the amount of administrative time spent scheduling conference rooms should be reduced.

Product Description

RoomWizard™ is a web-based room scheduling system with touch-screen display providing real-time, displayed meeting information, right where you need it—outside the room. The interactive digital signage incorporated into the display reduces meeting interruptions, eliminates scheduling conflicts, and encourages more effective use of space.

Each RoomWizard™ display shows its room's schedule: times, topics, meeting hosts, and more, encouraging effective time management and helping to reduce scheduling conflicts. With RoomWizard™, you can:

  • View conference room availability via the web
  • Display information outside the room, such as meeting topic, date, and location
  • Use the touch screen to claim an unoccupied space or to extend or delete your reservation on the spot
  • Bright red and green lights signal room availability from a distance—perfect for finding an impromptu meeting space or for avoiding interrupting other meetings
  • RoomWizard ties in with the existing stand-alone system, or seamlessly book rooms with an existing reservation system such as Microsoft® Outlook®, Lotus Notes®, or other software systems
